Fortune Favours Brewery | New Zealand Craft Beer

In 2016, Shannon Thorpe decided to take the leap from working for other brewers and open his own brewery. He convinced award-winning brewer Dale Cooper to quit his day job, and together with Wellington Hospitality group they created Fortune Favours.

Fortune Favours saved an old industrial building and restored it as a new brewpub, brewing on site and serving fresh beer and food. The old furniture restoration business was becoming surrounded by bold new bars and food venues in the revived Leeds Street precinct, and Fortune Favours was happy to add its brewery to this mix.

Fine Wine Delivery were the first retailer in Auckland to stock Fortune Favours beers, and we haven't looked back since. We brewed our first collaborative beer with Fortune Favours in August 2018, Juicy Tart IPA, which was a huge hit with our customers and beer drinkers around NZ.

With a great selection of core range beers and some new and exciting seasonals (pina colada beer, anyone?) We highly recommend giving the brews a go!
